Description
We're sorry, but this activity is over. The last meeting was Saturday, April 9, 2022.
School Age Swim Lessons (C/NY Residents Only)
Must be 6 by March 1, 2022
Children need to follow simple commands from their instructor. Trust is important and crucial for positive progress. Parents are welcome to watch from the bleachers. For children 6 and up the instructor to student ratio will depend on the skill group your child is working on. We follow USWIM professional Level 2 and 3. Parents can view all levels on You Tube.
Level 2:
Skill 1 is Breath control
Skill 2 is Streamlined (front) Float
Skill 3 is Back Float
Skill 4 is Dog Paddling (face down)
Skill 5 is Back Kicking with arms at sides
Skill is Safety Awareness and combines all skills in the shallow end and progresses to the deep end of the pool.
Level 3: Stroke development, is divided into six skills.
Skill 1 is Streamlined Kick ( with face in)
Skill 2 is Beginner Freestyle
Skill 3 is Pat the Dog
Skill 4 is Freestyle Breathing
Skill 5 Backstroke
Skill 6 is Freestyle
Level 4 is not part of the USWIM lesson progression. We will provide instruction for the following and once taught encourage children who want to continue to join Seacoast Swim Club: Beginning Breaststroke, Butterfly, Treading Water, Surface Dives, and Standing Front dive.
Swimmers with hair that is 3 inches or longer must wear bathing caps. Bathing Caps are available from the lifeguards for $5.
Goggles are extremely helpful in all learn-to-swim programs. For children as young as 3 learning to wear goggles is as much a part of the lesson as getting in the water. They should be comfortable and fit properly.
Parents, swimmers and spectators are required to remove shoes before entering the pool area.
